[Nigel W]

I most likely will. I certainly won't object.

We, the undersigned collectives, object strongly to the behaviour
displayed by a person associated with Darwin Indymedia, and with the
initials M.L. (Because some have pointed out that using his name in
proposals is exactly the kind of behaviour that we have objected to, only
his initials will be used. If there is any confusion over who is being
referred to, please refer to the imc-darwin at lists.indymediaSTOPSPAM.org
archives.)

We object to the following behaviours:

-Use of indymedia resources to launch personal attacks on named indymedia
volunteers.

-Unfounded accusations of racism, sexism, complicity in crimes and violent
acts.

-Refusing to have transparent editorial guidelines and decision making
processes.

-Refusing requests for defamatory personal attacks to be edited or hidden.

We believe that these behaviours are not just opposed, but toxic to what
indymedia stands for and how it operates. We believe that these behaviours
have no place in our network.

Because the only remaining original member of Darwin Indymedia (M.L.), has
displayed these behaviours to the exclusion of any others for over a year,
we therefore declare that we consider Darwin Indymedia, as it was
originally constituted to be disafilliated from the network.

We also declare that M.L. is no longer welcome in the network and that the
imc-darwin email list should be closed immediately because it is only
being used to further these behaviours
